Five9 - One-Stop CCaaS Call Center Platform
Overall a great experience, multiple critical call center functions bundled into one easy to use, user friendly platform
Pros
I like multiple inter-connected functions bundled together within the CCaaS Five9 platform including call center UI/UX, call routing, recording, logging and analytics
Cons
It is on the costly side and took some time to implement, the setup configuration guides could be a bit more intuitive

Admin Review of Five9
Pros
Five9 was hands-on during the setup. Their promises stated that Five9 had everything that we needed.
Cons
What we received is not what we were promised. Limited integration with Salesforce. Support quality is hit or miss.

Five9 cloud phone
We are using Five9 as a cloud contact support platform to call and interact with our customers. It is not that much efficient as we expected. Frequent session logout and audio quality issues cause trouble in doing work.
Pros
1. Easy to integrate with any ticketing tool. It is added as a plugin and is easy to use and manage.
2. You can setup from station based on Gateway or any id that you configured.
3. Proper reporting of incoming and outbound calls.
Cons
1. Automatic logout from the machines if you are not there for even 5 minutes.
2. Voice quality is not that much clear and good.
3. Very slow and time taking to start in the day.

Customer Interaction software
We are using this as a point of contact for our customers, it helps us to make the process smoother by contacting them directly. Making calls, receiving calls, putting our profile on busy, maintaining contact list are some things which help us a lot.
Pros
1. Very reliable software to use.
2. Very clear with the profile options to put as active and inactive.
3. No lag or issues came in between the discussions.
4. Voice mail by customers, messages are all just great features to deal.
Cons
1. Issues come with deployment and number of errors.
2, There is no notification or option to receive the call, it directly auto receives the call, and the customer starts saying hello.
3. Difficulty in understanding the call history records.

Good but it can be better
Pros
So I like how simple the platform is overall. It’s not complicated at all, which is ideal for business applications.
Cons
Now, I believe it has a few issues that, if resolved, would be fantastic.
Just to mention one or two, you can be in a call and get kicked out for no reason. Also, even after months of use, when you try to access it, it says it needs to be downloaded again. It also freezes during calls, which makes it a little difficult to deal with.

Very Basic For a Huge Market
Pros
I like that's easy to use and integrated with a custom-built ERP, you can use webhooks, and integrated links to interact with the platform.
Cons
It's too basic, and the algorithm for the distribution of calls is very flawed. You don't have a smart, context-aware algorithm

Very pleased with the software.
A plus. Really made a huge difference for our company.
Pros
I like the non stop call base, I really like the record button. I also like how we can transfer to the vote line with ease. No more having to hold and dial, it automatically does it for you ! Love that feature! The fact that my boss can hope on anytime if need be, or listen inn on performances is also key for our company! Great features. Great price, Great organization for our team.
Cons
At times it would run slow, and we would run into tech issues with dial up system some times.

Works for Small Businesses
It works well if you don't need to deep-dive on call and ticket data in the future, in which case you would need to shell out additional payment per agent to be able to have your data stored for longer within the ecosystem
Pros
Easy to use as a standalone, web-based inbound and outbound calling tool, good reporting capability and monitoring
Cons
Records are only retained for 60 days and this encompass both reports as well as recording databases. Even downloaded record data is erased remotely!

Unbiased Review
They provide business solutions on a reasonable price. Their customer service is amazing. I haven't had any issues with how their tech or customer support team handle any issues we bring up. They are very personable. I just hope they launch web app for supervisor view that's included in the premium.
Pros
It's easy to use and accessible as long as internet is available. Supervisor views are customizable to fit preference and requirements. Agent applet/softphone app is very user-friendly. It is not intimidating because it looks simple yet professional.
Cons
Reporting is a pain. It does not show the numbers that will make sense in a BPO setting. Java based application for Supervisor is also excruciating especially if Java version in the PC is not compatible. Good thing agent applet has web-based option now.

Five9 is the best Cloud based VOIP system we have found
We have tried about 6 different companies for our call center and Customer Service Agents and Five9 by far is the best solution. There are cheaper systems out there but you definitely get what you pay for. In my experience the lower cost solutions will cost you more money to implement and manage than just using Five9 to start.
Pros
There are a lot of things we like about Five9. The service and customer support is very good. They are timely and everyone we have worked with is very knowledgeable. The system itself is very user-friendly. Since you are so involved in setting the system up you quickly become familiar with how to work with it and how things actually work.
Cons
Initially I had concerns about the pricing with Five9's product compared to several other companies. I actually hired 3 different companies and ended the relationships with 2 before even getting them implemented. The customer service and setup of their systems was a nightmare. One took over 2 months to even get setup and after that several things we were promised didn't work. The 3rd company we used for about 6 months and had issue after issue and promise after promise not met. I came back to Five9 as it is worth the investment for my company.

Very Useful
Five9 works excellent for incoming calls, voicemail, call records, ability to leave notes on calls, set callbacks, and search session history. Caller ID is a plus as well. When incoming calls come in the callers info I'd populated and set location configured with other software to link up with.
Pros
What I like most about five9 is its reliability. I don't have to worry about its software glitching or failing on me. I love how easy it is and it allows you to set call backs.
Cons
I can't think about any con's with using this software. I have zero complaints. I reccomend using this software to anyone.

Five9 is the best software solution for out telephone needs.
Great reports and statistic metrics. Our customers can get a hold of us all the time and they very seldom have to leave us a voice mail. Our sales and patient retention has increased!
Pros
We run a small call center for our clinics, all of our patient calls are routed to our call center. Five9 is our call center software and we love it. Five9 is so easy to use, our team learned the system in under an hour. The reports available in the system have helped us track our progress. The statistic reports have been instrumental in our goal planing process.
Cons
When we need customer service we often have to leave voice mails and wait for a call back. I would really help if we could get a live person right away when needed.

Great Customer Interaction Software
My overall experience with nice has been great I think there should be some updates done
Pros
What I like most is that integration to speak to customer and third party seller on a given interaction.
Cons
I feel like your software is missing a performance report.
We notice there was an issue with audio on majority of our interactions.

My job my life
I use this on a daily basis for my job. Over 3 years now I've been using it and whenever i have any issues even slight, they are there to help me thru it. There's been a few times I've had my own pc issues and they have been there to help me get it going and back onto work. Love this software.
Pros
This is the software I use to do my job daily. I've used it for over 3 years now and it is exceptional. It hasn't lead me wrong at all and even at times I have a slight issue, the tech support is superb and very helpful, patient and kind. I wouldn't be able to do my job and keep my job if this wasn't such a great software program.
Cons
Only thing i can say I dislike about it would be not being able to enlarge font during chat usage, but it's such a minor thing that I don't even notice and someday it will probably be changed as well.

Five9
We have been using the software for more than 6 years. Five9 was able to help create custom reports & be able to download files at a certain time. Were also able to help with the recording of calls & help us remain compliant at the same time
Pros
works as a dialer should. easy visibility to what the Agent is currently doing or has done throughout the day. easily customizable (Supervisor screen). Tons of reports available without having to customize. Able to customize the Agents screens with fields available. Very little downtime or issues & have the ability to activate GR fairly quickly. always are aware of any maintenance & downtime expected (a couple of weeks notice normally)
Cons
sometimes following up on open tickets take longer than it should. Accessing an Engineer is not always easy. Limited to customize some screens. If there are issues, difficult to find out as not very forthcoming of information

Don't waste your time.
Setup was long and painful. Once we were up and running it was difficult to monitor calls and run reports. We missed so many calls that using Five9 would have cut our revenue in half. The only way it could have been worse is if the customers just received a busy signal. I have been trying to cancel everything out for the last 3 months and can't get a call back from our rep.
Pros
The phone in Salesforce looks nice. Clean looking design.
Cons
Everything else. Reports are the worst I've seen. The tech even had issues trying to set the filters for a report to run. The only way to monitor calls is to run reports which are a lost cause.
